Unrealistic things people do in TV dramas that you don't really see in life.

[Lockdowner35]

I will start

When two people are having a conversation , sometimes there is someone always listening in on the conversation from round to corner , never happens in real life.

The L shaped sheet.

When people on TV have a baby and it doesn't seem to impact their lives or constrain them in any way and they carry on as usual!

When people get arrested charged convicted and imprisoned

The fact anything you watch on TV, the houses are always immaculate. Never a dirty bowl or pan on the side, towel on the floor or toys out. Everything is show home ready

Talking openly about their feelings? Doing tremulous faces?

Sit in a car outside someone’s house, or follow them in their car, but don’t get noticed.

Pregnant women going into labour very suddenly and dash to hospital.

Everyone on the street hangs around in the pub - I actually grew up on a street a bit like corrie with a pub at the end of the road but the only people who went in there were the old men!

Buying a tea/coffee to takeaway but the cup isn't hot! Or when it’s out down on a table you hear that it’s empty. Stupid but annoying

When one person is trying to tell another person something very important and they either get interupted or the other person has to rush off and rather than carry on with the very important thing like you would in real ife it goes unsaid resulting in all kinds of confusion

Buy a drink then in a pub, exchange a sentence or two with someone-then walk straight out and leave The Drink!

Never get hiccups.
Never talk about tv/news/politics.
Never kill their house plants.
Never have abortions.
Never discuss contraception.
Never have kids draw on the walls unless they are they ‘the dysfunctional ones’.
Never have bo/bad breath.
Never get toothache.
Never skid in the ice unless they crash and someone dies.
Never have a box dye go wrong.
Never plunge the toilet.
Never get nits.

Person 1 - (Looking serious and nervous) Sit down I have to tell you something really important

Person 2 - OK but first insert mundane story here

Person 1 - I really need to tell you this

Person 2 - Oh but wait insert mundane story number 2 here. Ok go on what do you have to tell me?

Person 1 - (Changes mind) Oh its nothing just wondered if you fancy going out tonight.

Person 2 - Sure sounds great

They arrange to meet ‘ in the caff at lunch’ or ‘in the pub tonight’ but never specify a time. And in said pub it’s always ‘beer please love’ or ‘glass of wine, large’ but never any specific drinks.

Oh someone beat me to it. It took me a long time to type that

Although, having watched this week's 24 Hours in Police Custody, real life is sometimes more unbelievable than drama.

No one ever has an epidural.

Shagging against walls, kitchen cabinets etc, tearing clothes off, snogging wildly, sounding like truffle pigs snorting then ramming it in first try (to an instant female orgasm).

Say "I've got to go" and dramatically and immediately leave during a pivotal moment often when another character is professing love.

Time is always very odd.

They barely eat and drink loads and get no sleep. Repeat. Look great!

Receive texts from unknown numbers.

This also applies to reality shows! I was watching an old season of the Kardashian’s when two of them had young babies and you really could not tell. Going on holidays, out to restaurants etc. Didn’t even see them holding the baby 😄

Yes and they NEVER LISTEN and NEVER LEARN.

When someone is sat 2 foot away from there partner whispering to someone but they can't hear anything

Men pour whisky from a crystal decanter the minute they get in from a stressful day at work.
